Canine Heart Sounds

Canine Heart Sounds are a Durham North Carolina music quartet, originally formed in Duluth Minnesota in 2007. And it should be mentioned they were all born in Wisconsin. 

Its members spent the late 2000's & early 2010's individually lending a helping hand for other music projects (Bowerbirds, Rosebuds, Lost in the Trees, FREEMAN) & recording their debut album across multiple states, before finding a new home in North Carolina in 2012.

The group draws heavily upon influences of progressive rock, jazz, soul & experimental new music. For example, only one of their members actually likes Phish, & two of them went to college, but all of them like Keith Jarrett. Okay, A typical live performance often finds the group AB-SO-LUTE-LY shambling from improvisational instrumental pieces to traditional song-forms with multi-part vocal harmonies.

Canine Heart Sounds released their third full length album, Sun Size Guitar in February 2022 & are preparing to record an album of original instrumental music at Betty’s Studio in April 2023. The group has previously toured as the backing band for Grandma Sparrow & Molly Sarle (Mountain Man) & have performed at the Eaux Claires, Bonnaroo, Hopscotch & Art of Cool Festivals.
